Congratulations. You've just fit the stereotype of a New Yorker. When exactly
did New York secede from the Union? I'll happily stay in the "cultural wasteland"
of San Francisco over New York anyday. Actually there's enough pushy,
loudmouth New Yorkers here complaining how nothing compares the the Big Apple.
Put 'em on the next plane home I say.
Dan
